Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

Mao Lilan asked in a low voice.

None of them could understand Chinese. Even if they could, they would most likely not be able to understand what Sano meant by what he just said.

Therefore, in the eyes of a few people, Sano's series of actions just now were almost the same as convulsions.

...Forget about Urashi Seoran and Kasaka Natsumi, the other three knew that Sano was carrying a special device, so they had every reason to be suspicious.

Sano is ill.

After Sano came back to his senses, he probably realized that what he had just done was a bit abrupt, so he just found an excuse to get over it.

"I learned some Chinese by myself before, and I originally planned to show off, but in the end... maybe I didn't learn enough."

Speaking of this, several people finally showed a look of enlightenment and stopped exploring further. The topic turned to the birthdays of Ushi Qinglan and Kasaka Natsumi.

These two women, one has a birthday on May 5th and the other has a birthday on May 3rd. The more I look at them, the more inexplicably... they match?

Then Conan, a fool, cheerfully said that their birthdays were only one day apart from his own, which caused Mao Lilan to cast a stiff look at him.

If Sano remembers correctly, in the last Moritani Teiji case, Maori Ran went to the building that was almost bombed alone. It seemed that it was because it was Conan that day... To be precise, it was Kudo Shinichi's birthday. With.

...This kid is starting to fool around with his thoughts again, and he's not as capable of cheating as himself. What the hell is he doing? The birthdays of his dual identities can actually be set on the same day. What kind of shit is he playing in his head? Even if it were me, I would try to avoid this aspect as much as possible.

Zuo Ye was critical of Conan.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Pu Si Qinglan's eyes were fixed on one spot: "Are there any cats on this ship?"

"ah?"

Everyone followed Pu Siqinglan's line of sight and saw a black shadow flashing around the corner.

"No way, why are cats allowed on the ship?"

Suzuki Sonoko frowned: "Could it be that someone raised it and brought it up?"

"No, when I got on the boat in the morning, I didn't seem to see anyone with a cat."

Mao Lilan hesitated and said: "Anyway, it is not good to let a cat run around on the ship. If it accidentally falls into the sea, or is locked up somewhere, it will be troublesome." That’s it.”

"That's right. Find it quickly and take care of it."

The four women decided on the subsequent actions one by one, and Sano took advantage of Mao Lilan's attention being distracted by others to kick Conan's butt.

Under Conan's eyes full of question marks, Sano gave him a look as if he was looking at a fool. Then he separated from the team on the pretext of "split up to search" and went to the leisure area on the top floor of the ship.

Here, Sano saw Nakajima Sukezo, who was busy writing with his head buried in the book.

...In the memory egg incident in Osaka, who was the most depressed, it would not be Officer Nakamori, who made two mistakes and almost broke the memory egg, so that his soul almost flew out. It wouldn't be Hattori Heiji who nearly got into a car accident while racing to track down Kaitou Kidd, leaving him with bruises all over his body.

It should be this guy Kuroba Kaito.

Before the operation started, he was hammered several times by Sano. During the operation, he was beaten by Sano wearing a black mask. After the operation, he was sniped by Shi Kaobing in the middle of the operation.

...Well, three seconds of silence for Kuroba Kaito.

But if we want to talk about who is the most...excited, it's probably Sukezo Nakajima.

After arriving in Osaka, I first heard that the day before, Black Death, an existence that had been reported by Nakajima Sukezo, had done something like that in Osaka, and then it was Kaitou Kidd, and it was Black Mask, no matter who it was. , you can use it to make an article for him.

... Although the Tokyo Ghost Stories column may be said to be reporting on supernatural legends, it is still something to be published in newspapers, and its core is the same as gossip reporting.

As a senior reporter, Nakajima Sukezo knows how to turn something that is not a ghost story into a ghost story with just a few strokes. Of course, even if it can be modified by adding embellishments, the underlying material of the report It’s not something you can just bring over and do it.

Especially if you want to be successful, you must either write the ultimate horror, or you must have a great gimmick. Only in this way can you ensure that the report will not fall below the minimum it should be.

...The white Phantom Thief, who is active all year round, and the Black Mask, who appeared out of nowhere, both have their identities mysterious and elusive, and no one has ever seen their true appearance.

Is this guy crazy?

Sano walked behind Nakajima Suke-san, glanced at the contents of the opponent's notebook, couldn't help shaking his head and chuckled, and turned to the fence next to him.

Then, Sano saw a certain blond and dark man wearing waiter clothes.

Sano: "..."

Damn, this girl is following me, right?

Toru Amuro also saw Sano and immediately raised his hand to say hello.

"...Because the exhibition was closed and my work was over, I planned to go back to Tokyo. But I happened to see that the Suzuki family ship was recruiting temporary service workers. I thought I could make some money and save travel expenses, so I applied for the job. ”

...Okay...a valid reason.

Listening to Tohru Amuro explaining why he was on the ship, Sano couldn't help but smack his lips, and then suddenly noticed another point: "You just said that the Suzuki family in Osaka recruited many temporary waiters to come on board?"

"Yes, after all, there are quite a lot of people on the ship, and the original waiters are not enough, so we have to recruit them temporarily."

Upon hearing this, Sano immediately narrowed his eyes.

...The two tasks currently on Sano's hands involve two groups of killers who are targeting them behind the two mission targets.

But what makes Sano strange is that they have now boarded the ship back to Tokyo. What are these killers going to do to come up and kill?

By plane?

There is another possibility.

That is to get on the ship early and lurk among the people on the ship.

There may be these killers among the temporary workers recruited in Osaka.

Sano thought for a few seconds under Toru Amuro's puzzled gaze, and finally asked the other party to help him pay attention to whether there were any strange people among the temporary workers.

Of course Toru Amuro was puzzled by Sano's strange request, so he asked for the reason.

Sano thought for a few more seconds and chose to sell Ito Taka...well, to the other party.

...Of course Sano didn't tell Ito Takashi's name, he just said that one of his... well, a fellow patient, provided him with this information.

Anyway, there won't be any problems. Sano didn't believe that Toru Amuro could go out of his way to find out Ito Taka's identity and then attack him, for what purpose.

After getting the answer, Toru Amuro did not directly think that this was a mental illness.

...The main reason is that Toru Amuro felt that Sano was not someone who would joke about such a thing.

Since Sano chose to believe the other party's words, it proves that the other party's words should have a certain degree of credibility.

Moreover, no matter how low the possibility was that there were two groups of killers on the ship, Toru Amuro felt that he should investigate as much as possible. Anyway, now that everyone was sitting on the same ship, there was no need to make up any troublesome reasons.

So Toru Amuro accepted the job...huh?

Why, as a boss, could I have worked for my employees in an art gallery and on a ship, but now I have to collect intelligence for them? ?

Toru Amuro was shocked to realize that something was wrong, but he had already agreed, and it was hard to regret it anymore...

Sano didn't see anything wrong with Toru Amuro...it wouldn't be a big deal if he did. He just noticed that the other person was staring at him while he was taking out a cigarette, so after a few seconds of silence, he took out a cigarette with his backhand. Give the root to the other party.

...If you want to smoke, just say so.

Toru Amuro: "..."

Who the hell asked you for a cigarette?

"Bata."

After Toru Amuro instinctively took the cigarette, Sano lit the cigarette in his mouth.

Unexpectedly, a figure hurriedly came to Sano's side in the next second, staring directly at his hand.

Sano also stared at the passionate go-getter for a few seconds, then chose to put the cigarette case directly into his pocket: "Sorry, I've finished smoking, and there are no more cigarettes."

"..."

The corner of Amuro Toru's mouth twitched. He couldn't tell lies with his eyes open, and this person probably didn't come to Sano to ask for a cigarette.

...Unlike planting flowers, Neon has no habit of "scattering smoke" here.

Therefore, Gan Jiangyi was also a little confused about Sano's words.

But after he came back to his senses, Gan Jiangyi didn't bother to care so much. He just rubbed his palms and said, "Hey, little brother, can you lend me the lighter in your pocket for me to appreciate?"

"Um?"

lighter?

Not here for a cigarette?

Only then did Sano realize that in addition to the cigarette case, he also had a lighter in his hand. It turned out that Gan Jiangyi was staring at that thing.

After subconsciously taking out the lighter given by Suzuki Sonoko, a bad feeling suddenly came to Sano's mind.

...Actually, Sano didn't intend to use the lighter given by Suzuki Sonoko, he was just going to put it at home as a decoration.

After all, this thing is too flashy.

It’s okay if it’s not easy to use. The price is not low. I’m afraid of bumping into it if I keep using Sano.

But later, when Sano was lighting a cigarette, he happened to find that his original lighter was out of gas, so he used it. However, he forgot about it and took it all the way to Osaka.

After using it for two days, Sano was almost used to this troublesome method of starting a fire and planned to keep using it.

...Of course, what matters now is not this, but something wrong with this art dealer.

Rather than saying that Gan Jiangyi is an art dealer, it would be better to say that he is an antique dealer.

Judging from this guy's previous bid for the Egg of Memories, he is obviously a wealthy owner, and his vision cannot be bad. However, when he saw Sano's lighter just now, he still showed an expression that could be regarded as not calm.

...This can't help but make Sano doubt the value of the lighter in his hand.

Could it be that... this is the corner that Suzuki Sonoko dug out from his house, which is called a warehouse, but is actually a treasure house, and used it as a gift?

After a few seconds of silence, Sano handed the lighter to Gan Shoichi.

Then Gan Jiangyi took a lighter and studied it carefully for a while, and finally offered Sano a high price of 30 million in an attempt to acquire it, which confirmed his suspicion.

... Damn it, 30 million, which is more expensive than the watch given by the Gin duo.

Thinking that he had been holding thirty million in his hand these past few days, and only used it to light the fire, Sano couldn't help but want to complain. Now, when Suzuki Sonoko celebrates her birthday, how should he return the gift?

Trouble.

"...I'm sorry, this lighter was given by someone else and is not for sale, so I can't sell it to you."

Sano forcibly pulled the lighter back from Ganjiang's hand, then refused the other party's repeated price increases and walked from the top leisure area to the first deck.

...Although the top floor can have a farther and broader view, if you want to observe the sea up close, the first floor is the most suitable, and the deck is also relatively large.

It seemed that the trio of real children were chasing each other and running around. Only Haihara Ai, the fake lolita, was staring blankly at the waves.

"What are you looking at?"

Haihara Ai glanced at Sano who came to the side and said calmly: "It's nothing."

Sano asked again: "I just heard Mao Lilan say that she originally wanted you to come and chat with her, but you refused. Why."

"...If you don't want to chat, do you need a reason?"

"I'm not blind. You have a lot of contact with Mao Lilan. How could you not see that you are deliberately avoiding her?"
